Why the future of food is ‘invisible innovation’

Ecosystems, Europe, Next Featured, Startups and technology, Sustainability /

When you hear “the future of food,” what comes to mind? Star Trek-like food synthesisers, pills to replace your lunch, lab-grown meat, and insects for protein? Yes, the future of food might contain those things. However, it will also be a lot less… strange.  That is according to Beatriz Jacoste Lozano, the director of the

A new decentralised VPN aims to patch a gaping security hole

Data and security, Insider, Next Featured, Startups and technology /

VPNs have become popular means of protecting personal data, but there’s a big vulnerability in their defences: the service provider. These companies can technically gain access to all your unencrypted traffic. Consequently, they can see all the data on your browsing habits.  This frailty has sparked interest in decentralised VPNs. Instead of funnelling all user

This AI can tell if your home is wasting energy — just by looking at it

Government and policy, Startups and technology, Sustainability /

Two researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a deep-learning algorithm that could make it easier, faster, and cheaper to identify energy-wasting homes — a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.  Trained on open-source data including energy performance certificates and satellite images, the AI was able to classify so-called ‘hard to decarbonise’ houses with

World-first AI safety deal exposes agenda set in Silicon Valley, critics say

Corporates and innovation, Deep tech, Government and policy, Startups and technology /

A world-first declaration on AI that was agreed on Wednesday will have no real impact and has been manipulated by big tech, critics say. The statement was signed by 28 countries — and the EU — who collectively cover six continents. They unveiled their pact at the UK’s AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park, where codebreakers

Corporates and innovation, Deep tech, Startups and technology /

AI could be nearly twice as accurate as biopsies at assessing the aggressiveness of some rare types of cancer, a new study suggests. According to researchers this could save the lives of thousands of patients. A research team from the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute for Cancer Research (ICR) focused on retroperitoneal

World leaders and tech titans are currently descending on southern England for an AI safety summit, but the flashy event isn’t impressing everyone. Over the next two days, around 100 bigwigs will attend the event at the historic Bletchley Park, a country estate around 90km north of London. During World War Two, the site was home to the codebreakers

Cultivated meat is a ‘promising’ space food for astronauts, ESA says

Deep tech, Startups and technology /

Development of cultivated meat, i.e. actual animal meat that’s grown in bioreactors from stem cells, has been gaining traction in recent years. That’s because it can provide a more sustainable and ethical alternative that doesn’t only mitigate animal slaughter, but also uses far less natural resources than traditional livestock farming. Notably, it also shows potential
